Trying to get Fedora running on an old Mybook World, but can not seem
to
get it to run at all..
>From what I understand this is the same that Peter Lemenkov successfully
got Fedora 11 running on some time ago, but I only get "illegal
instruction" when trying to run anything..

it most likely means that the CPU is lower architecture than the Fedora
required minimum (armv5te), like armv4, what is the exact spec of the
CPU?

Thanks. Looks like I need to build my own kernel..
# CONFIG_AEABI is not set

Getting a little further.. instead of illegal instruction I now have
FATAL: kernel too old
Kernel is 2.6.17.14 (patched with board support)
Using the F11 rootfs. (F12 gives same result, obviously)
Is 2.6.17.14 really too old, or am I missing more kernel options?
Regards

Fedora glibc required kernel at least 2.6.18 until this Wednesday,
now
it requires 2.6.32, the minimum kernel version defines how much
compatibility stuff is included into glibc

Ok. So I'll either have to update kernel to at least 2.6.18, or rebuild
glibc with lower kernel requirement..
But first I will grab the F10 root so I get something running.. that
should work fine.. (requires 2.6.9)

Ok. So I'll either have to update kernel to at least 2.6.18, or

Working on updating the kernel. Have 2.6.34.1 booting, but have not yet
ported the sATA driver.
F10 seems to run quite fine with the "original" kernel + EABI support,
but for this project to be worthwhile I need to go beyond that.

Great work!
Could you, please, set up public git repository for this task?
